    Rightly so, Colin. Such generalisations have no basis in fact and inhabit the grey area surrounding what may or may not constitute racism. My accuser implies I was denigrating the black African teams. If I have to go back through the thread and 'view' the ones I have on Ignore to see what they have said I could but I'm choosing not to. I'm letting my imagination run riot If I'm wrong about that so be it. I've been wrong about plenty of things before.

    But I resent being told I'm being racist.

    PS - I would presume/hope that if I was being racist I would be reported so if Col gets in touch I'll hear him out.

    Some of the big names look to be suffering from the latter. Pretty much the entire Spanish team. Khedira too.

    It might be that a lot of the players that got to the Champions League final are having a reaction. They may have had a 'crash' following the euphoria or dejection of the final and may be struggling to get their head back into gear. Benzema looks a notable exception. I'm struggling to think of anyone else who played in the final to have shone so far. Even Ronaldo was well off his best the other night.
    Khedira suffering from mental fatigue???
    Khedira suffered a big time knee injury approx. 6 months ago and it's a minor miracle that he can play at the level he is. If anything he suffers from not having the rigorous physical preparation before the tournament. He is one of the most mentally tough players on the German team.
    ROLL ON THE RESISTANCE !!!

    Obviously a lot I could say but as we've heard many a bird shout after a dodgy night out in a nightclub

    I know DO and his extended family personally. I would go to the gallows swearing they haven't a racist cell between the lot of them.

    Lets not allow clumsy wording around incredibly complex multi-layered topic distract us from reality.

    I agree he could be a bollocks. Racist/fellow traveller/ NOT.
